![]() #71. Never Mind The Buzzcocks ![]() It has taken the rest of the world approx 20 series to work out what the Brits already know: NMTB is classic. Combining two of our best hobbies: music and ripping the piss out of people. First Mark Lamarr and now Simon Amstell brightening up a traditionally dull Thursday with the token flavour of the week guest who is mercilessly torn into and the iconic guess who line up. Still going strong and eminently watchable, NMTB is one of the last few British exports worth shit these days.

![]() #70. Chillout. ![]() It may bore the arse off everyone else but I could'nt care less. Chillout has been unfortunately hyped and commercialised but if you go hunting you can still find plenty of gems to ease you down after a day of turmoil. More people should just chill and let music take the stress out of the day for you.

![]() #69. Dirty Bass ![]() I am not talking about a vomit encrusted Bass guitar. No-I am talking about those big huge bass lines that dominate the track and make the room shake. Even better when a band is built around a Bass guitarist and not the lead guitarist: ..or when you need to add some balls to an average track: ..or being the underpinning of a classic track: Bass guitar is Rock's most neglected son. Time to reaquaint.

![]() #68. The Switch ![]() 'The Switch' is a made up term by myself. It relates to those tracks that are great in their own right and then the artist decides to add on an outro that completely changes the feel and enhances the track. There has been times when I have literally got goosebumps when the music takes an unexpected but inspired route. Three Examples: Metric-Hardwire A great Pop song and then at 3.20 the tempo is raised a little and the guitar kicks in. Fantastic schizz for sure. Pink Floyd-Yet Another Movie One of the best tracks on the dissapointing AMLOR is a great atmospheric track in it's own right but then at 6:18 a chilled out guitar lead track kicks in. (To be fair, it is another track tacked onto the end but it still conveys what I'm trying to say). Radiohead-All I Need I have posted this before so accept my apologies. A glorious simple song structure that segues into a subliminal piece of piano and drum combination (2:45) that still gives me goosebumps when I hear it. This is why music is indescribably joyous.
